Melbourne City to win
Sadly, for everyone in the A-League, it’s highly unlikely that Melbourne City will make a mistake on Sunday. This is due to the fact that Western Sydney are just not up to par with Melbourne City in any key aspect. Just look at the head-to-head stats – with seven victories, two draws, and only one loss against Western Sydney, Melbourne City are without a doubt the dominant force in this rivalry.
Over 9.5 corners
Four of the last five games for Melbourne City in the A-League ended with at least 10 corners. The only one that didn’t was the dull affair against Central Coast Mariners on the 27th of December which ended with only four corner kicks. Western Sydney are huge underdogs to win this game and as such, they’ll have to do damage control as the visiting team will be hammering away trying to score an early goal which is a great stepping stone for our Western Sydney vs Melbourne City prediction.

Western Sydney odds: 47/20 (3.35) – 29.0%
Draw odds: 5/2 (3.50) – 27.0%
Melbourne City odds: 23/20 (2.15) – 44.0%
As you can clearly see from the Western Sydney vs Melbourne City odds above, at 23/20 (2.15) Melbourne City are the most likely-to-win team with a 44.0 % chance of victory compared to Western Sydney’s 29.0% which was the result of the 47/20 (3.35) betting odds. The draw is the least possible outcome at 27.0% but the away team’s manager should be careful as with the home-field advantage on their side, Western Sydney’s players just might cause an upset.
Predicted lineups, team news, and last result
Western Sydney
The Wanderers are eager to get the ball rolling as they’ll attempt to snatch points away from Melbourne City in the title fight. After all, the home team is in 3rd place with 18 points.
The last A-League showdown was on the 6th of January and it was a complete fiasco as Perth Glory edged a thrifty 1:0 victory over Western Sydney in a match that should’ve ended in a draw.
Predicted lineup – Thomas (GK), Traore, Marcelo, Mrcela, Cleur, Borrello, Amalfitano, Nieuwenhof, Yengi, Bozanic & Najjarine
Melbourne City
The 2020/21 Australian champions seem like top contenders for the A-League trophy this season as coach Rado Vidosic’s boys are at the top of the table right now with a healthy six-point lead.
Western United were trashed 4:0 by Melbourne City and with 14 shots by the leaders in the ranking, Western United should be happy they conceded so few.
Predicted lineup – Glover (GK), Talbot, Lam, Good, Bos, O’Neill, Tilio, van der Venne, Berisha, Leckie & Maclaren
Starting lineups

*Starting lineups are usually announced 1hr before the kick-off
Player to watch: Jamie Maclaren
Coach Mark Rudan has very few things he can do against a juggernaut like Jamie Maclaren. With 13 goals since the start of the season, Melbourne City’s star up front is the leading A-League goalscorer this season. Sure, he has only one assist in the meantime but his job is to be the focal point of attack as he’s no creator. We’re adamant that the 29-year-old striker is currently at his peak and he’ll be a difficult player to contain.
